These instructions cover full research and industry papers, poster papers, demonstration and GIS papers. For PhD showcases please contact the PC Chairs directly.

Attention: Sept 16, 2013 is a firm deadline for all camera-ready copies!!!

  • Submissions of camera-ready copies must be done through EasyChair.

  • The following page limits apply:
    Full research and industry papers: 10 pages
    Poster papers: 4 pages
    Demonstration papers: 4 pages
    GIS Cup papers: 4 pages


  • To include your paper for publication, all of the following requirements must be met:
    - Paper prepared in ACM format including the standard ACM copyright paragraph and copyright strip (see below)
    - Copyright form submitted electronically (see below)
    - Paper submitted in PDF format
    - Paper submitted in US-Letter size (8.5x11 inches)
    - No page numbers (they will be added automatically)
    - At least one author must register for the conference. This author must register before Sept 16, 2013


  • To ensure adherence to ACM's format requirements, please use one of the templates available at:

    http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates

    Note that the page must be lettersize (8.5 x 11 inches).

    The copyright block must be included on the first page of all publications. ACM now allows full and short paper authors to fill out a license or copyright form so there is no longer 1 copyright block. If you submit the copy-right form to ACM (see instructions below), you will receive a confirmation message that includes the text for the correct copyright block that you should incorporate in your paper.

    Also, please pay special attention to margins and the requirements for specifying categories and subject descriptors, general terms, and keywords. More information on categories, etc. can be found at http://www.acm.org/about/class/1998


  • Copyright forms are now handled electronically. ACM will send an email to contact authors with instructions on how to submit your copyright release online. Papers cannot be published without a valid copyright release form.


  • Please make sure to follow all formatting requirements to avoid any additional delays. Having the wrong paper size and incorrect copyright block are the most common errors.
